Sorry, Lindsay -- when you mentioned Toolbox and PID, I assumed you were a programmer.

I don't want to update the installer yet, because that would imply that NodeXL has been tested with Excel 2010, and it hasn't been. For the time being, my best suggestions would be to either try to find a machine with Excel 2007 and use that, or ask
someone nearby to try the registry trick I mentioned above on your Excel 2010 machine.

Our team has limited programming resources (there is just one programmer, me!), which is why we're postponing support for Excel 2010 until we get closer to the release date.

I'm also using Office 2010 beta. I tried creating the string mentioned above in the registry on my desktop machine. While it apparently has not caused any problems (that I know of yet), it still does not allow the program to be installed. I'm really eager
to be able to use it.

Fortunately, I had it installed on my laptop back when I had Office 2007 on it, and when I upgraded to 2010 beta on that machine, the program still seems to work.

Starting with version 1.0.1.109, NodeXL should be installable on a machine with Office 2010 beta, although that has been given only limited testing so far. What version of NodeXL are you attempting to install?

It seems to be working for me. I’ve installed the program and have opened the NodeXL template. Now I’m getting a box stating that Office 2010 beta is configuring,
and Office is asking me if I want to install this configuration utlilty. But all seems to be working well!

Also (and this may add to the confusion), Win 7 asked me if I wanted to install the software with "settings compatible to this machine." Foolishly, I clicked yes. It's still not letting me install NodeXL (same error), but now there's a registry
key:

The setup program is looking for either of two registry values. The first is on the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Excel\InstallRoot. If that key exists and has a Path value, then Office 2007 is installed.
The second is on the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Excel\InstallRoot. If that key exists and has a Path value, then Office 2010 is installed. If neither value is found, then the setup program will tell you
that "It appears that Excel 2007 is not installed. The Microsoft NodeXL Excel Template requires Excel 2007."
